Hi Stephie, To relax your fears some what, the British Army is the best army in the world! Yes, even better than the US Army, not as big, but better equiped and trained. If they weren't so detestable, I would pity the terrorists going up against the British Army. You needn't worry about your DH being in poor hands. Count your blessings that it's not the Canadian Army, what's left of it after that creten Cretin demolished it. It's also not very likely that your DH would be deployed to Iraq, that is a very small fraction of the Army. Because of his security experience, he would likely be deployed in in the UK at a sensitive military base. As to your problem with people who enlist in the army, likely a result of Canadian liberal propaganda. It seems to me, from what you've described about your DH that his views on the military should've been obvious to you since the beginning of your relationship. I can't understand how you missed it. Since your relationship seems otherwise fine , I would go with his decision. Take it from me, there's nothing to worry about. You'll probably find England very pleasant to live in. -Bob
